Journalists (and not only them) were extremely surprised when, on the first day of his visit to Moscow, Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino asked to take him to the Peredelkino cemetery to the grave of Boris Pasternak, his literary idol since childhood.
Quentin Tarantino is an iconic personality. He is not only one of the brightest representatives of modern Hollywood, but also one of the leading representatives of the postmodern genre in cinema. The director gained wide popularity thanks to such films as "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoir Dogs", "Jackie Brown", "Kill Bill", as a director, screenwriter and actor, he was repeatedly awarded "Oscars" and other awards at high festivals. But few know that Tarantino has, besides cinema, one more weakness - Pasternak's poems.
Arriving in Russia in 2004, Quentin Tarantino literally on the plane's ladder said that he would like to visit the grave of Boris Pasternak. Journalists reacted to this information as a star quirk, and were very surprised when, on the same day, Tarantino appeared at the poet's grave at the Peredelkino cemetery.
According to eyewitnesses, Tarantino, having visited the cemetery, having taken several pictures for memory, spent some time thinking at the grave and left in a bad mood. When the media representatives who were watching what was happening asked why Pasternak, the director replied: “Why not,” adding to this only the fact that Pasternak was a person. And one more reminder of the visit - a chamomile plucked in Peredelkino …
It turns out that Boris Pasternak has been the director's literary idol since childhood. He knows by heart almost all the poet's poems. Moreover, Quentin Tarantino is not indifferent to Russian cinema. He knows Russian cinema, from the films of Eisenstein and Vertov. The director is well versed in Russian literature and generally loves to read.
It is known that Quentin Tarantino, unlike many of his star colleagues, is very simple in everyday life and never tries to impress with expensive things. When, during a Moscow visit, the director asked to be taken to McDonald's, it turned out that from this "hotbed of junk food" he only needed a toilet. And Quentin Tarantino does not like rudeness, cruelty and big cities.
As you know, Boris Pasternak is one of the 5 Russian writers who became Nobel laureates … True, historically, the Nobel Prize was fraught with great problems for Russian poets and writers.
